Safety Notices

Symbols

This manual uses the following symbols to highlight specific areas important to

the safe and proper use of the Generator.

Table 1 - Safety Symbols

Safety Notice to Users

These instructions must be read thoroughly and understood before installation

and operation of your Peak Scientific Infinity 1051. Use of the Generator in a

manner not specified by Peak Scientific MAY impair the SAFETY provided by

the equipment.

When handling, operating or carrying out any maintenance, personnel must

employ safe engineering practices and observe all relevant local health and

safety requirements and regulations. The attention of UK users is drawn to the

Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Institute of Electrical Engineers

regulations.

Nitrogen is not a poisonous gas, but if the concentration in

the inhaled air becomes too high there will be a risk of

asphyxiation.

A WARNING notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure, process

or similar, which if not correctly performed or adhered to, could cause personal injury or in

the worst case death. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING notice until the indicated

conditions are fully understood or met.

A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure, process

or similar, which if not correctly performed or adhered to, could cause damage to the

Generator or the Application. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION notice until the indicated

conditions are fully understood or met.

Introduction

The Peak Scientific Infinity 1051 Generator is designed specifically for use with

Mass Spectrometer applications. The Generator has been designed to produce

Nitrogen from an existing source of dry, oil free, compressed air in the

laboratory.

Unpacking and Installation

Although Peak Scientific take every precaution with safe transit and packaging,

it is advisable to fully inspect the unit for any sign of transit damage.

Check ‘SHOCKWATCH’ label for signs of rough handling prior to un-packing –

Any damage should be reported immediately to the carrier and Peak Scientific

or the Peak Partner from where the unit was purchased.

Follow the unpacking instructions posted on the side of the crate. It will require

two people to remove the unit from the shipping crate and to manoeuvre the

Generator onto the floor.

Please save the product packaging for storage or future shipment of the

Generator.

After unpacking and a visual inspection, the unit should be

placed in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Care

should be taken not to obstruct the ventilation holes on the

side of the unit. The Generator should be placed on a steady

and level base. The Infinity 1051 has been designed to fit

under most workbenches. Alternatively, the unit may be wall

mounted using the fixing slots provided.

Performance of the Generator (like all sophisticated

equipment) is affected by ambient temperatures. Prolonged

operation in temperatures exceeding 30°C will shorten the

life of the unit.

Air Connection

Infinity 1051 Generator should be connected to a clean, dry, OIL - FREE source

of compressed air. A minimum inlet pressure of 120 psi / 830 kPa / 8.3 bar is

required. Any doubts as to the suitability of your compressed air supply should

be referred to Peak Scientific or any of their authorised partners.

The generator has a Breathing Air Filter with ¼” BSPT connection to the left

side of the unit. The Compressed Air supply should be connected here. This

filter will drain moisture and is equipped with an automatic drain. The drain

should be led to a convenient place. There are 2-off ¼” BSPT Female bulkhead

connections to the right of the unit. Fittings are provided to connect these

ports to the gas connections of the Mass Spectrometer.

LC/MS with 2-off Connections (e.g. LC-TQ)

Connect the 2-off gas ports at the right side of the generator to their

respective ports on the Mass Spectrometer using the 2-off ¼” BSPT x ¼”

Swagelok fittings. Use ¼” tubing throughout.

Commissioning

With the Generator installed (as described earlier), connect compressed air to

the unit and open the air supply to the Unit. Disconnect the Outlet connections

to allow the generator to vent to atmosphere until the unit is stabilised. The

Generator has been pre-set in the factory to give the specified output flow-rate

and pressure in line with known requirements. Once the Membranes reach the

design pressures the Generator will stabilise and produce Nitrogen. Maximum

purity will be achieved after approximately 1 hour. The generator can then be

re-connected to the application.

The design of the generator is such that it can deliver up to the supplies

specified in the

Pressure & Flow Settings

table below. Should the demand for

gasses be less than the rated output flow at any time, the demand will be

determined by the consuming equipment. In circumstances of no demand, the

Generator remains operational and will provide Nitrogen immediately as

demand resumes.

Pressure & Flow Settings

The above settings should allow the Infinity 1051 to be operated with all

standard configurations for the Shimadzu LCMS 8050. Should the above

settings not provide sufficient flow or pressure for your application please

contact Peak Scientific for assistance.

Cleaning

Clean the outside of the Generator only using warm soapy water and a clean

damp cloth. Ensure the cloth is thoroughly rung out to remove excess fluid

prior to use.

Under no circumstances should any solvents or abrasive

cleaning solutions be used as these can contain fumes that

could be harmful to the Generator.

Maintenance Schedule

Servicing and/or repair of the Generator should only be

undertaken by a TECHNICALLY COMPETENT PERSON with

the Generator in a safely isolated condition.

Due to the simplicity of the design and the small number of moving parts, the

Infinity 1051 Nitrogen Generator will have a long and trouble free life. However

as with all scientific and technical equipment it should be regularly inspected

and serviced as below.

Service Schedule

As an alternative to purchasing the 12 month service items individually an

Annual Service Kit is available as one part number. This contains all the filters

required for this Generator.

Safely Isolated Condition

The unit is in a safely isolated condition when it is disconnected from its

application and fully de-pressurised. Directions for isolating the Generator are

shown below.

Failure to place the Generator in a safely isolated condition

when instructed to do so may lead to personal injury or injury

to others and even death.

a) Disconnect from air supply.

b) Ensure the output pressure gauge read zero. (If gauge does not fall to

zero, loosen the outlet fitting slightly to allow trapped gas to escape).

Disconnect from the application.
